"This ......" Hegar also frowned, indeed according to the general situation, Count Twad should come back with their reconnaissance team to greet the prince now, although you are the prince's uncle, but after all, it is not the royal family, but the descendants, the status difference is still very far, the other party not only did not come over by himself, but also did not even send someone over, this is indeed not normal.

"But the Legion Commander doesn't have a rule that he must come in person, maybe he's just in the city to prepare for work." A general next to him said.

"Just leave this kind of thing to the people below to do." Ye Junwen said, "And what I want to say is that this incident reveals that this Count of Twad has a certain degree of contempt for the prince. ”

"Indeed." Hegar nodded, "But it's not sure that the other party has betrayed His Majesty, maybe he just doesn't pay much attention to His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, hasn't he already agreed to receive us?" Don't...... Ready to ambush us while we're unprepared? ”

"An ambush should be impossible, there is too much difference in the number of troops, even if the ambush is successful, it is not ...... Wait a minute. Ye Junwen said that he suddenly figured it out, "I probably understand what the situation is, so it seems that things are not so bad." ”

"What?" Hegar asked.

"This Count of Twad must have a connection with the rebels, or he is more optimistic about the rebels." Ye Junwen said, "And now the one who has the ability to pose a threat to our troops is the troops of the rebels we have just defeated, Count Twad knows this, and should be ready to contact this rebel army now to inform them of the current situation." ”

"So they're going to attack us with the rebels?" Hegar asked.

"However, it seems that Count Twad has no intention of directly giving his life to the rebels, and the situation on his side may be that he wants to join the rebels, but he does not want to defend the city for the rebels and resist our troops, which is too dangerous for him. So now he has contacted the rebels, but he wants them to make a move. Ye Junwen said, "If we really don't pay attention, it is still more dangerous to be ridden back by the rebels from behind." But...... Just let the rebels know that we're still keeping an eye on the rear, and that General Conrad will not come back as the previous General Conrad has behaved. ”

General Conrad should still understand military affairs, so according to Ye Junwen's analysis, if the other party finds that Ye Junwen and his troops are not paying attention to the rear, it is very likely to kill them back. And when the rebels returned, the Count of Twad on this side only had to close the gates of the city and attack them on both sides, and they would be very dangerous. However, as long as they come cautiously, the rebels should not dare to come up and fight again.

"As long as we send a large number of scouts to reconnoiter everywhere in the rear, the enemy should not march again when he sees this." Ye Junwen said.

Of course, Hegar would not object to this proposal, and no matter what the attitude of Count Twad was, it was certainly right to be careful not to prevent the rebels behind him from making a comeback. Soon they sent out a large number of scouts to scout around the rear of their army, while their troops were advancing in the direction of Edmid City.

Sure enough, General Conrad also received this information at this time. Similar to Ye Junwen's prediction, after retreating for a distance, General Conrad's side did not retreat any further, but began to reorganize the troops to see if there was still a chance. At this moment, he also got a contact from an informant from Edmid City, saying that Count Dwad wanted to cooperate with them.

However, it is a pity that when General Conrad sent people to investigate, he found that there were still a large number of reconnaissance troops behind the opponent's troops, which showed that the opposite side was still guarding against them, and this was probably no chance, and with the troops that he had just defeated, he could not defeat the opponent's morale-boosting imperial army.

"He is worthy of being a genius commander, and his command is leaky." General Conrad hesitated slightly, then said, "Order, continue to retreat to the west, and return to the base camp." ”

"Legionnaire, aren't we going to put it up?" The adjutant next to him asked, "Now that the enemy is short of food and grass, if Count Twad joins us and closes the city gates to prevent them from supplies, we may be able to drag them down if we continue to harass them from the rear." ”

"Can we trust this Count of Tvard?" Conrad asked.

Of course, the adjutant didn't know if he could believe ......it, and suddenly a letter came saying that he intended to join, who knows if it was true.

"What if it's the other party's plan." Conrad said, "We don't have to be so careful in the face of other people, but the person called Serina on the other side is not simple, according to the previous battle, this is a very calculating person, to defeat him, this kind of side-door approach is not good, but will fall into the opponent's plan, only from the front to face him, there is the possibility of defeating him." ”

"I see." The adjutant nodded, and indeed this letter from Count Dwad may also be one of the plans of the commander named Serina, which is to drag their troops here, and when they post them, they will immediately ambush them or something. For now, it's better to settle down and retreat to the base camp to the west to repair a little.

So Conrad's troops retreated directly to the west, and after some time, the Count of Twad also learned the news.

"Damn, coward!" Earl Twad slapped the table angrily, he was really optimistic about the rebels and wanted to join the rebels at this time, but what he didn't expect was that the other party's troops actually retreated. Fortunately, he didn't turn his face with Hegar's side, he knew that there might be a situation on the rebel side, and if he could join, he would join, and if he couldn't, then of course he wouldn't really fight the Imperial Army, "Open the door and welcome the Imperial Army." ”

A crisis was invisibly resolved, and Ye Junwen and the others just sent a few scouts to shake behind their troops. By the time the troops of the First and Second Legions arrived at Edmid, they had already seen Count Twad with men at the gates, and of course the gates were wide open.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince." Count Twad also received Ye Junwen and them very warmly.

When the troops entered the city, Hegar's side was also relieved. After all, the recent situation is indeed more dangerous, and now I can finally relax a little.

"Grain and grass supplies and the like, I have already ordered people to prepare, and I also ask your lord's troops to repair here, and then they can annihilate those hateful rebels in one fell swoop." Count Twad said to Hegar.

"Count Twad is really loyal to His Majesty." Hegar said.

"Really?" At this time, Ye Junwen next to him suddenly interjected, "My subordinates told me that they seemed to have seen someone send people from Edmid City to the direction of the rebels, I wonder if Count Twad knows about this?" ”

"What?" Count Twad panicked, but immediately said, "I don't know about this, do I have rebel spies under my command?" I'll be sure to go back and check it out right away. ”

"Oh, that's right." Ye Junwen nodded, "I thought you were ......, Lord Count Twad."

"Count Twad is the younger brother of the Empress, and he will definitely not betray the country." Hegar interjected and said, "Now that the rebels are strong, it is normal for a few spies to appear. ”

"Yes...... This is my fault, I didn't find out the situation of my subordinates, I must investigate it carefully. Count Twad said at once.

After chatting for a while, the Earl of Twad here still left first, Ye Junwen looked at his back and said, "Look at this reaction, there is still a problem." ”

"I can see it too." "But you don't need to talk about it now, can't you settle accounts with him when our troops are stable?" ”

"The current situation is a time bomb that must be cleaned up as soon as possible, otherwise something may happen at any time." Ye Junwen said, "At present, this Edmid City is an important stronghold for us to deal with the rebels, and if there are internal problems, it will be very troublesome for future plans." ”

"Well......" He Jiaer felt that what Ye Junwen said also made some sense, "but we don't have any evidence at the moment, so we can't arrest him casually." ”

"No problem, I'll take care of this matter." Ye Junwen thought for a while and said.

"Uh...... Okay. Hejiaer thought about it, Ye Junwen still made him feel at ease, at least for now, there was no problem, but I don't know why I always felt a little bad premonition when I saw Ye Junwen's expression this time.

In short, no matter what, the troops of the First and Second Legions have stabilized and settled in Edmid City, and the current situation in Edmid City is relatively stable, and there is a lot of food in the city, although it is an army of more than 100,000 people, but it is enough to eat for a month. And the current situation is not only to reorganize the troops, but the most important thing is to inquire about the rebels and the situation on the side of the main city, so for the time being, they will repair here.

Because in the city, it is much more convenient for Ye Junwen to do things, so he also asked people to find a way to contact Scam, let the other party know that he is already in the city, and ask the other party to come to him quickly.

It's not a hassle to contact Scam, and Scam is indeed paying attention to Ye Junwen's situation, but he really couldn't find where Ye Junwen was before. But now that I received the information, of course, I came to Edmid City as soon as possible, and I quickly found Ye Junwen. At this time, Ye Junwen had just finished a military meeting, and when he heard the news, he also summoned him.
